Creasy’s the word: STELLA CREASY MP on making misogyny a hate crime

Some good stuff DID get done during the chaotic COVID Parliament that’s just ended. Walthamstow MP STELLA CREASY tells Ayesha Hazarika about her fight to get misogyny reclassified as a hate crime as part of the Domestic Abuse Bill, why women have been left out of the Government’s COVID response… and all the gigs that the Right Honourable Member for Indie Rock missed because of the Pandemic. 

• “The Chancellor hasn’t got a Scooby about how COVID affects pregnant women. He started telling me about self-employment instead.”
• “We’re trying to get people back into pubs, but we’re not getting three-year olds back into childcare.”
• “One MP told me not to worry about coming back to work after having a baby because there’ll be a nanny. Well there ain’t.”
